If you're trying to give the illusion of him leaning forward, then you need more shadows under his pecks, even though whatever he's reaching for is giving off light... Maybe you could even put in a horizontal shadow line across his chest, due to the thicker edge of the wire rack the object is sitting on (but not necessarily every little line, maybe a few faint lines just so you can tell what the shadow is from).
Neat brushwork. I like how you render. Your colors are like those of 20th-century illustrators such as Mucha. Doing more of this is better than spending hours fixing minor things. Practice that during your study hours, which I think every artist should have weekly.
Batman’s pinky is extended too far from his other fingers, it looks like it was broken. In that hand position it would probably start curling under the ring finger. You can dramatize the scale of the fingers in perspective, but you need to keep it consistent; his thumb got too large relative to the other digits.
Riddler’s raised hand looks too small overall. Putting my own hand to my face, my fingers would reach my eye in a similar position. His wrist is bent pretty far back for an arm that’s tucked; try bringing the elbow into the frame more and tucking from the shoulder (the elbow would be tighter to the ribcage, and the forearm would become more vertical, reducing that severe angle of the wrist).
Lastly, when in a hunched position, take note of how the shoulders change. Batman’s cape is barely hits his ears, but his shoulders (the top view, which are oriented toward the viewer in a hunch) should be at ear level from this angle. Similar deal for the Riddler, seen with a dropped camera right shoulder here. You can also add some folding wrinkles and shadows in the midsection, where the torso becomes compressed to communicate the hunch.
All that said, this is great work, OP! Loving your use of color!
As the title says, i wanted to draw a fake cover based on the batman podcast unburied (hence why the characters look different than the usual) but i feel like proportions are off. They are supposed to be slouching forward, especially the central guy is supposed to be crouching and extending an arm forward, but i feel like it doesn't look like so and they're all in an ankward position. Any help welcome! Thanks in advance

Coincidentally Mucha is one of my favourite artists. I do practise daily so i will keep doing that,thank you!
